Bieganski | April 23, 1991 |
A tool for stripping the insulation and screen layers from a coaxial cable has a body in which a plurality of spaced blades is supported by a carrier that is movable toward and away from a cable that may be located in a position to be engaged by the blades. A pawl and ratchet latching device holds the blade carrier in stripping position, but is releasable to enable the carrier to be moved to a position in which cables can be fitted to and removed from the tool. The blade carrier also is movable to an extreme position in which one set of blades may be replaced by another.
